Host reboot and IP addresses are lost

New HPE DL380 Gen10 servers running the HPE customized ESXi 6.7 software

Management is setup on standard switch, DVswitch used for VM, iSCSI, and vMotion traffic

VMkernel ports are all setup for iSCSI and vMotion with iSCSI binding showing all storage volumes

Reboot a host and the IP address information for the iSCSI and vMotion is gone! The IP address for the management network stays just fine

 

Not sure if the problem lies with the setup of these new servers (BIOS or NIC settings) or with the HPE customized version of ESXi

Any ideas?

ESXi 6.7 Performance graphs only show the last few minutes

This is my second install of ESXi 6.7 U1 and I'm seeing the same problem. The performance monitoring graph on the host and on individual VMs only shows the last few minutes, no matter how long it has been up. This is the case with all counters (CPU/Network/Memory/Disk). Screenshots attached. Running the free license. I have tried restarting hostd, running with/without NTP, and, obviously, a full re-install. Any suggestions?

Export All Power Supply Status of ESX Hosts on Linux

This question has been answered for PowerCLI here: Export All Power Supply status of ESX Hosts using PowerCLI

 

We run RHEL 7 systems on HP servers.  The original solution was to run hponcfg periodically via a cron task on the host and write the data to NetApp shared directory.

 

I have not found a solution native to Linux.  I suppose I could install Powershell/PowerCLI on Linux and use the above solution but I’d rather keep the moving parts to a minimum.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Need help in troubleshooting an issue where I lose connectivity to iSCSI LUN.

ESXI - AMD Threadripper Testing - Having Issues.

Hi All,

 

I have been playing with a new Threadripper 1950X build and was thinking about seeing if I could get ESXi working. So far I haven't been having much luck and my build keeps getting stuck at the following place:

 

https://s4.postimg.org/3v2ua1t9p/20170821_002755.jpg

 

I have tried all kinds from disabling all sata ports, disabling SMT, disabling USB3 and generally messing about with stuff in the bios but as yet I simply can't get it past this loading screen. I realise that this chip is not on the supported chips list yet and that its a long shot but figured if anybody would know it would be the good people in here.

 

Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated. I'm also fairly noob so go easy on me lads.

 

Thanks

Vince

vSphere 6.7u1 with SRM 8.1.1 install - no client plugin - issue

I have a new vSphere 6.7u1 environment with the vCenter 6.7 appliances setup with embedded PSCs link, per the recommendations for a SSO environment with multiple vCenters. I then installed SRM 8.1.1 in Windows 2016 (firewall disabled). After running the setup of SRM and connect it to the vCenter PSC and vCenter, SRM is up and running but the client plugin for SRM is not installed in the Web Console of vCenter. I have checked the package directory on the appliance on the srm package directory was not created in /etc/vmware/vsphere-client/vc-packages/vsphere-client-serenity. It looks like the plugin was not pushed. Is this a known issue? is there a way to manually install the client plugin? Any clues?

Hallo,

Ich versuche bei dem USB-Controller KTU3FR-4P von inatek Passtrhough zu aktivieren.

Er wird in dern verfügbaren Geräten auch gelistet und ich kann auch mit "Passthrough umschalten" den Status auf "Aktiviert / Erfordert Neustart" setzten.
Nach einem Neustart ist er nur leider nicht Aktiv sondern immernoch auf "Aktiviert / Erfordert Neustart".

 

Weiß jemand woran das liegen kann?

ESXi 6.7 - USB device listed with lsusb but not able to connect to VM

I am not able to attach a USB HDD to a virtual machine.

The disk has previously been attached to another virtual machine,

but it isn't showing in the UI-configuration of any of my VMs.

 

One vmx file has this entry, that maybe causes the issue:

     usb.autoConnect.device0 = "path:1/9 autoclean:1"

 

I suppose editing the vmx and rebooting should solve the issue.

 

But is there a way to detach it without rebooting the VM?

Virtual Machines losing IP address/VMWare tools fail

Hi

 

I am using ESXi 5.5 and have recently noticed some random issues with our Virtual Machines.

 

I can be RDP'd to a VM and I will suddenly lose connection.

 

When I check the summary tab of the VM, Tools isnt running and there is no IP address.

 

I then have to reset the machine to get the IP address back

 

When I check the Performance tab in the Client, I can see the machine is still running, as the charts are being updated with the CPU, Memory stats.

 

This is happening to Windows 7 and 10 VMs, of different build numbers and both x86 and x64 versions.

 

Below is part of the VM log file, for around the time the issue occurs

Datastores missing after moving disks to different controller

I run esxi 6 in my home lab. My host is an HP Z800. I moved the disks from the SAS controller to the SATA controller. The disks worked fine on the SAS controller although they are SATA drives. This was done in preparation for installing SAS drives. Rebooted the host. The drives are recognized but the datastores are missing. Re-scanning had no affect. Reconnected the drives to the SAS controller and the datstores are seen again.

 

Question: Is there a way to see the datastores after changing to a different HBA?

New ESXi VM's won't connect to internet

Hello,

 

I have a new esxi that I have spun up, everything appeared to be working fine, until I migrated a couple vm's.  Basically once migrated they do not have access to the internet, what is weird is I can create a new NIC for them on DHCP and they do have access to the internet.  I have checked my IP's, DNS, Gateways and they are all correct so I am at a loss as to why they cannot connect.  I even attempted to create a new NIC, made sure it connected with DHCP then tried to put in the static ip and it still fails.  Any help would be appreciated.
